It appears to be included but to me the voice over was key to the movie, it let us in his head.
I couldn't agree more. The voice-over gave it a film-noir detective movie feel... as if Ford were just filling in for Bogart. I'm extremely happy to see they plan to include this version in the special edition, I'm definitely planning on picking it up.
Personally, I'm just so confused because I want them BOTH to lose. The only thing that makes me NOT want it to be a protracted and expensive lawsuit for both parties is that then, only the lawyers would win.
Remember... Jack IS a lawyer so by your statement, he would win.
If it's anything like other betas I've been involved in, it won't ever actually stop being beta, they'll just release it and patch it for the rest of eternity.
It's worth noting that, even if what you suggest were so (that they plan to stop showing preview commercials in front of movies), all that would result in is more advertisements for Pepsi and Nike.
Yet another reason I hate going to the theatre... They charge way too much for the ticket for me to think it's OK for them to also force feed me advertisements for things that are completely unrelated to the movies.
Ebay didn't kill anyone, sheesh. If he hadn't gotten the parts there, he would've gotten them somewhere else. What next, a story on how McDonalds is supporting criminals by allowing the to buy lunch there?
You just don't get the big picture! If they were hungry, then they'd have been more occupied with trying to eat and they wouldn't have been able to commit their crimes!
When you say dev environment is better, do you mean VS.net is better than Eclipse? Eclipse has come to a point that it is way better than many development IDE.
I use both currently, and I can say that Eclipse may be way better than many IDEs, but Visual Studio.net isn't one of them.
You don't need to dedicate an entire server to it, you just install it on one of your existing servers and be done with it. It's not going to consume an entire machine's resources.
You've never had to maintain an XP network, have you?
This is not harder than the previous way of doing things.
Wanna hate Vista, hate it for what's wrong with it... I do. However, I am willing to come right out and say that this particular piece is something they did right.
Makes ya wonder who they bought it from. heheheheh
How is it any different than needing a corporate license server for Autocad, or Rational, or any of the other software commonly licensed this way on the corporate level? It's not like these license servers are terribly difficult to maintain.
I think you imagine the maintenance to be a lot harder than it really is. Maintaining a single license server has, in my experience, been easier than maintaining hundreds of keys individually.
So wait... Microsoft is requiring you to run a server just to run their fucking operating system? It adds NO value whatsoever to the company using it, yet takes their electricity, time and resources to maintain? Does that sound absolutely asinine to ANYONE else? Wouldn't a CTO/CIO be slightly annoyed at having to allocate extra resources just to run an operating system whose only real function is to allow the real work to get done?
Your assumption here seems to stand on rather shaky ground, though... I'm sure that you can run more services than just the authentication mechanism - I would expect that you'd probably want to run the license authentication service on your domain controller or something similar, unless you're in a really gigantic shop.
but there is a part of me that believes a global multinational corporate controlled world would be better for most people. Why should the US get special treatment from companies? What if the companies started funding their own mercs and fought back? There has been fiction on that subject. It's good thing for our national governments that our corporations don't have merc wars against each other or some governments would be in deep trouble.
I'm afraid I can't agree with what you say about being better for most people. If the corporations had absolutely no checks or balances and were allowed to run free and do whatever they wanted, then the top 2% would continue to get richer and the rest of the world would get steamrolled to make it happen. I realize this is already happening, but what if there was literally nothing to keep these companies in check?
You might be referring to something else, but my first guess is that you're trying to get from one empire's hub to that of another. There are barriers of low security between center of each of the Amarr, Caldari, Minmatar and Gallente empires. There are higher security paths available, but you'll likely end up going slightly out of your way. You can adjust your autpilot to prefer safer routes. I personally have run into a couple of systems that were highsec, but completely surrounded by lowsec, and belonged to the same faction as the rest of the region I was in. It's rare, I've only seen it once or twice, but it did seem very odd to have a highsec system that is so dangerous to get to.
Actually, there are many player-constructed stations in EVE these days. Every single one of them has been (and must be) placed in "zero security" space, purely controlled by players. You're right, they're not cheap. This is not entirely accurate. A player owned station can be placed in high security space, but the corporation placing it must have a particular standing with the faction that owns the system they wish to place it in. It is most definitely inaccurate to say they can only be placed in 0.0 space.
Maybe. But the concept of treating piracy as free publicity only works when you don't have an enormous stake in the current offerings, as many game companies do.
Fair enough, certainly can't argue the point that you don't gain market share in as helpful a way in the game industry from piracy... if your company can survive the piracy, it does give you mindshare that may help you in the future, but a big part of the problem is surviving on the margins in the mean time.
Although, to be fair, smaller business application shops could probably say something similar about their own product.
...I had all the time in the world to wait for that ultra-rare mp3 to finish downloading from Germany. But I'm used to fast now...
Wow... your internet connection must be pretty slow. Mine's not the fastest available to me, but is a decent speed (7Mb)... fast enough that a 4.5GB DVD would take about 1.5 hours to download, or roughly the amount of time it would take to watch it. Haven't had much call to do it, but that has more to do with my lack of interest in movies than my available bandwidth.
I think you meant "America" instead of "The world", fyi.
heh... yeah, 'cause we all know that the entire rest of the world is just doin' great. America is in the crapper, but the rest of the world ain't doin' too hot either. There are countries that are doin' pretty well, but taken as a whole I'm afraid it is not only America that has gone to the dogs.
Granted, America does a better job advertising the fact...

...just don't get you're hopes up for it being in the new "Final Cut" version that'll be in theaters this year.Yeah, I wasn't expecting to see it in the theatrical release, since it is also Scott's cut.
I realize my opinion on the voice-over is a minority opinion, but that's OK... I'm used to people disagreeing with my opinion. heh.
Cheers!

Not that Tron was CG.
Remember... Jack IS a lawyer so by your statement, he would win.
SCO failed Microsoft... so, as the old saying goes, if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself.
Advertisers and Law enforcement, on the other hand... well, with them, you're just screwed.

You are way too focused on the political issue, and completely ignoring what I say.
If it's anything like every other licensing mechanism, then it is easier to maintain than an entire sheaf of licenses for a large volume of machines.
How is it any different than needing a corporate license server for Autocad, or Rational, or any of the other software commonly licensed this way on the corporate level? It's not like these license servers are terribly difficult to maintain.

Would you have been as likely to buy Oblivion is you had not played (legitimate or not) Morrowind?

Ah, thank you very much... I was about to have to come and defend my sense of humour yet again... heheheheheheh
